We’re seeking an experienced and compassionate Service Manager to lead a new team supporting a young person who will soon be moving into their own home in Worthing.
This individual is warm, affectionate, and loves building genuine connections with people who take the time to understand them — sharing jokes, having fun, and celebrating their successes. They are autistic, with mental health conditions and have a learning disability. They experience psychosis, which can bring high anxiety and vivid hallucinations, so your leadership will ensure a patient, trauma-informed, and person-centred approach is embedded in all aspects of support.
They enjoy music, dancing, discos, cars and long drives, gentle walks, cooking, bowling, and trips to the cinema, and they thrive on encouragement as they develop their independence and self-worth. With strong family ties and a love for positive, consistent relationships, they will benefit from a manager who can guide a confident, skilled, and empathetic team — balancing calm reassurance with uplifting energy to help them truly flourish.
Working hours are 40 per week, Monday–Friday, with on-call duties. We know flexibility is important, so we’re open to discussing alternative work patterns to support work-life balance.
